Only needing to lose a few pounds?
My clothes have been getting snug and I weigh a few more pounds than I’d really like. I’m still in the healthy range, just not happy with how clothes fit and whatnot. I also tend to put a couple of pounds a year, which adds up in the long run. (About 10 lbs more than I was 4 years ago) I’m eating at a deficit + exercising…

Weight loss/maintenance on antidepressanr
I've been on citalopram 10 mg for almost a year. At first, I only noticed slight weight gain of about 3ish pounds. Since January I have gained about 5 pounds (altogether 8), which in itself isn't a big deal because I'm smaller to begin with. I've resolved that I am okay with my pants fitting a bit tighter if it means I'm…

Really struggling with being on track
This last year has been rough on me and I've gained a few unwanted pounds. It's not really the gain that bothers me though, it's my eating. I've dealt with some pretty intense anxiety and depression (which I'm now being treated for) and I've just kinda quit caring about what I take in because for the longest time, I felt…

Water weight :(
I'm sure this has been posted a lot, but as someone who's new to working out .. I'm feeling a bit discouraged. I've been counting calories for a few years now and successfully lost 20 or so pounds with eating less and mild exercise. However, I'm at a pretty good weight now and I don't need to lose weight. I am going from…

Body after baby #3
I weigh about what I did before I had my last baby, as the last few pounds came off gradually over time. But my body is different! I don't fit into my old jeans as well .. and I am softer. I expected that somewhat but I figured being back to my happy weight would mean I would fit into things ok! I was tempted to just try…

How often do you all weigh?
Before I got pregnant with my first, I only weighed about once a month. After having several weight gain jumps (I kind of wonder if it was all of the extra ice cream!!) that freaked me out during my second tri with her, I decided to weigh every day to keep an eye on things. Now I know ladies who only weigh in at the…

Early weight gain! :(
I am currently 8 wks and 4 days pregnant and am already up five pounds. From what I have read this isn't totally abnormal, but with my other two kids I had barely gained anything at this point! Granted, I did enjoy a little too much food last week at a baseball game and I've been trying to fight constant hunger/nausea by…

Weird question kinda! (Exercise related)
So I've been doing the 30 day shred for the second time around and I noticed that it has whooped me! That's totally fine ... I'm just wondering if maybe where I'm doing the workout makes a difference. I did it the first time in our old apartment which was upstairs and had carpeted floors. Honestly, I rarely got sore and…

Am I eating too little?? Advice needed for a newbie!
I'm curious to know if I have been eating too little! When I started to use MFP almost four weeks ago, I set my activity level to sedentary. I am a stay at home mom ... I chase a toddler, clean, do laundry, cook. I am on my feet a lot but I sit down often to feed little man (he isn't breastfed). I chose sedentary because I…

Stay at home mom looking for support!
Would love to have some friends that I could look to for support & encouragement. In the past, I have tried to lose weight and get in shape on my own and I always got discouraged. Determined to make it happen this time and I need some friends for accountability! :)

New mom needing support!
Hey! I'll be 22 years old next month and I just had my second baby 4 weeks ago. With my first, the weight fell off fast! Actually, with time, I wound up being about 8 pounds less than I had weighed before. I attribute that to breastfeeding, as I never exercised or ate right. This time around, I was unable to breastfeed and…
